London’s most popular and friendly parties for bears, chunks, chubs and their chasers. This “cruise & booze” party is open Wednesday and Saturday night at Pulse in Southwark – and is nearly always packed.

Pulse has a good-sized dance floor, four bars and a popular and very busy dark room at the back! Regular special themed events – check website or XXL’s Facebook page for details. Don’t forget the “Hairy Happy Hour” from 10pm to midnight. Nearest Underground: Southwark

“I'm not generally a club type, wasn't excited about the pricey cover and watery, expensive drinks.

Music was OK, but poorly mixed. Good venue with professional, friendly staff . There are bears, but not as many as you would expect. More mixed, except there was a ton of fantastically super hot middle eastern/ south asian guys. Like a LOT. If you are into that sexy dark hair and beared thing, this is the place to be.

Couldn't find the darkroom, was like "screw this overpriced crap" and almost got to the front of the coat check when I spotted it. Ok, REALLY fun darkroom which salvaged the evening. Still too pricey, though.“

“XXL has become a victim of its own success. When it first opened it was a great club for men to cruise and booze. Now it is just an extension of the camp Soho scene full of camp guys in silly logo t-shirts. It's overpriced to get in and drinks are very expensive. The music is the same old bland circuit house.“

“Expensive, filthy and over rated. Says it's a bear club.There's normally a crowd of bears and chubs but definitely the minority. Mostly soho overflow and more than a smattering of people seriously in need of a meal and an attitude check. A generic gay club that charges too much for too little. Far better nights out for bears in London. This place trades on a reputation long evaporated. Oh and beware of officious bouncers accusing you of pissing in the backroom aka "the swamp".“

“Eurovision Party on 10th May was awesome. Pulse is a great venue. The men as gorgeous and the music is wonderful. Plenty of daddies and bears but also a great mix of other types as well. Packed dance-floor and a great chill out room.“

“XXL is always busy and always fun - a great gay night out in London. The new venue works well, with more space and better lay out than before. Trademark friendly and relaxed atmosphere continues. Sexy and fun too.“
